Pulastya’s Tīrtha Enumeration: Sarasvatī, Naimiṣa, Gayā, and Associated Phalaśruti
Chapter 82
त्रिशूलपाणे: स्थान च त्रिषु लोकेषु विश्रुतम् । देविकायां नर: स्नात्वा समभ्यर्च्य महेश्वरम्,वहाँ त्रिशूलपाणि भगवान् शिवका स्थान है, जिसकी तीनों लोकोंमें प्रसिद्धि है। देविकामें स्नान करके भगवान् महेश्वरका पूजन और उन्हें यथाशक्ति चरु निवेदन करके सम्पूर्ण कामनाओंसे समृद्ध यज्ञके फलकी प्राप्ति होती है
triśūlapāṇeḥ sthānaṃ ca triṣu lokeṣu viśrutam | devikāyāṃ naraḥ snātvā samabhyarcya maheśvaram |
Ali está a morada de Triśūlapāṇi (Śiva), célebre nos três mundos. Quem se banha nas águas sagradas da Devikā e depois venera devidamente Maheśvara obtém o mérito de um sacrifício: cumpre seus intentos e se enriquece com os frutos dos ritos justos.
